Phonics Games

Phonics instruction is crucial to turning students into strong readers, writers, and spellers. However, it can become overwhelming for students as there are so many skills to learn. This is why teachers work hard to create engaging and enjoyable phonics games and activities for students. Thankfully, the Phonics Game Boards focus on specific skills to assist students in mastering the spelling pattern or phonics rule.

Phonics Games Recording Sheets 

Teachers need to see what spelling pattern or rule students work on. However, seeing everything for each student while walking around and helping is impossible. So, there are recording sheets that allow students to practice writing sight words and phonics patterns. There are even 4 differentiated recording pages to add a writing component at the level of each student. So, students can practice the word in the game or use the word to create sentences. The forms are quick to print while helping students show so much growth!

Easy Prep 

Honestly, some of the most exciting classroom activities require hours of prep. However, teachers only have one conference period and are often in meetings or handling other situations. Sadly, this means tons of work has to go home. This all changes with the Phonics Game Boards! The prep is so easy for each game! 

Teachers can print in full color or black and white. Then, they can laminate the board to use them year after year. Once students hear the directions and have some practice, they will know exactly what to do when playing phonics games and activities. 

Editability 

Teachers can print the board as is! However, they can also add in their own words with editable templates. Since schools sometimes use specific word lists, this is a great option! 

Grade Level 

The resources are best for K-2 students based on the skills they learn. However, teachers can determine if it works with other grades based on the needs of students.
